MINA support for WebSockets?

The Users and Dev list archives contain year-old exchanges with Dhruv Chopra of ShepHertz in which the ShepHertz company offers to donate WebSocket protocol filters to MINA.  I see that code in the developers' JIRA.  But that exchange seems to have ended after just a few messages, and it doesn't look like the donated code has subsequently been integrated into a release.  What are MINA's plans to support WebSockets?  I think it's clear that ability to add WebSockets IO to existing MINA-based server apps is attractive for many users.

Thanks!

I'm glad then to have brought it to your attention.  :-)

The JIRA submission is buggy, I've been playing with it and fixing things.  I'm not competent enough with the MINA environment to fix all the problems on my own, but will be happy to work with whoever takes it on.  I can send you a private message with details or drop a note to the dev list.

Thanks much!

I'm afraid we just drop that ball one year ago :/

The JIRA containing the submission
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-907) is still around, and
has to be added to the code base.

Our bad...

I am not the person to ask regarding Mina's future plans. Emmanuel?

WebSocket starts with an http request and performs an upgrade command. After that it is just a minimal frame data.

Does the MINA roadmap include that code, or has that code been abandoned?  Is there some other plan for WS support on the horizon?

The http implementation hasn't received any love lately as far as I know.
It is not for needing a bit of work. Why not take the code and integrate it
yourself?  WebSockets are not terribly complicated.
